Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hi Bob, Dr. Doug Graham's booklet, " Grain Damage: Rethinking the High Starch Diet " says this: " A substance known as phytic acid, found in raw cereal grains, is well known for its tendency to bind with calcium and interfere with its absorption. Grains also contain substantial quantities of acid-forming minerals, such as phosphorous, potassium, and magnesium. During the process of digestion, the body must yield up calcium from the bones, a powerful alkaline mineral, in order to neutralize the acidity of grains. Eventually, people on a high-grain diet run predictably low on calcium, often resulting in a common bone-thinning condition known as osteoporosis.
